The Origins of Human Disease by Thomas McKeown
This book is a history of the diseases of humankind and their causes from earliest times to the present day.
The author asserts that in hunter-gatherer, agricultural, and industrial society, human disease results from a lack of basic resources or from exposure to hazards. New threats to health from increasing industrialization are addressed: non-communicable diseases caused by genetic maladaptation to new chemical substances and to changes in diet and lifestyle.
It is a tour de force drawing upon the author’s extensive work on the history of infection, as well upon evidence drawn from archaeology, history and demography.
